And then again, maybe it’s not. Rumors have surfaced which suggest Twitter is considering whether to allow users to video-tweet. These rumors appear to have originated from unsourced reports in a both the TimesOnline and the Telegraph.
Two problems seem to exist for video-tweeting. First, video-tweeting is currently available, but not very popular. Twiddeo and Tweetube, which require linking to their site currently offer the service, but there aren’t many takers. Second, video is contrary to Twitter’s standing rules. Biz Stone, Twitter co-founder, in an email to the social media website Mashable, makes this clear:“...no video hosting. 140 characters of text including spaces. You know the drill.”
